At the Chop-Shop -- MIMOSA 6, IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE, PRAYER FLAGS & PALM FRONDS SILHOUETTE SMALL

I've posted before about my tendency to cut up stencils that are stained as result of earlier art projects, then use them in collage on canvas.  Well, I've done it again ...

To create the frame on this 12" x 12" stretched canvas, I used Golden High Flow acrylics and the following stencils:

Mimosa 6 (6" x 6")

It's a Jungle Out There (9" x 12")

Prayer Flags (9" x 12")

Palm Fronds Silhouette Small (6" x 6")

I covered the central area of the canvas with a layer of Titanium White acrylic paint, to provide a bright white background for the cut-up, stained stencils.  Once the paint was dry, I used gel matte medium to add the stencil bits -- except for Palm Fronds Silhouette Small, which I used in its entirety.

With the exception of Mimosa 6, the stained pieces that became collage elements are all of the stencils listed above.

The cut-up stencils used in today's post looked like this, originally --

And Mimosa 6, used in making the border, looks like this:
